Astor Chocolate Response
7yThis is the HR Department responding:
Typically we stay away from responding to negative comments online, however this is slanderous so we felt the need to respond.
• Astor Chocolate’s retention rate with employees has actually been phenomenal. The average tenure of our team members has been 8.5 years. We have achieved that by providing career growth and opportunity followed by appropriately compensating our team members. On this note the company consistently sends our team members for training and professional development. To top it off we had quite a few team members take advantage of our generous tuition reimbursement program.
• Diversity is at the core of our cultural belief. We have community members and non community members who work side by side for many years enjoying each other’s personal lives and celebrating momentous occasions together. We take tremendous pride and continuous precaution that everyone who works at Astor “feels at home”.
• From a “work culture” standpoint, that is actually the easiest to address. Are there many companies that take 23 employees to training on culture with the Ritz Carlton? Are there many companies that are consistently thinking about their employee’s personal situations and adjusting their work schedules for them? Are there many companies that pay for child care? Are there companies that have wonderful programs like “Astor Acknowledges”, the list goes on and on.
• Upper management and HR are consistently thinking of ways to create better experiences for our team members.
